This essay serves three essential purposes. In the first place, the essay highlights the relevance of place-based education as an important curricular and methodological trend in the social studies. Secondly, an additional objective of this essay is to outline briefly several of the historical precedents for innovative place-based pedagogies in Georgia. And finally, with conceptual parameters and historical models established, this essay addresses the possibilities for localized, place-based based methodologies in the contemporary social studies classroom. With regard to the latter, three key recommendations for the advancement of place-based education in the social studies are outlined.

Having accepted invitations to spend a month in Georgia, the opportunity has been offered the writer to breathe the atmosphere of the southern life and catch something of the southern point of view touching current events, both in our country and in the Kingdom of Christ. Our program involved two weeks in Atlanta, where the old First Church and the North-ave, Church united for the meetings, one week being spent in each church.

For a year or more we have been looking forward to the time when we could pay a visit to Miss Berry's School. So on the 19th of April, we attended the Convention of County School Commissioners at Rome, and went with this body to partake of a barbecue out on the school grounds, and to view the school buildings and grounds, and to see the workings of the school. The location is ideal. The grounds and the layout of the premises and the cleanliness.

A log cabin in a stretch of pine woods in the north Georgia hills where a young woman from the big house nearby sits reading. The cabin is her den, and her spare hours she spends here among her books in the solitude and quiet of the green woods that stretch to the very lintel of the cabin. It is a spring Sunday afternoon and her peace is undisturbed except for the chirp and chatter of the birds in the blossoming new-leaved...

The Outlook has said before that the pronounced movement in the South in behalf of industrial education is one of the most significant and hopeful things in the remarkable development of the Southern States. Such institutions as Tuskegee, Hampton, Berea, are widely known all over the United States, but there are a number of smaller and more modest schools which nevertheless are doing a useful work themselves in training individual boys and girls, and are exercising a profitable influence in their communities, in the direction of educating the people at large in an appreciation of the dignity and honor of labor.

We live in the country. Our house stands on a hill with a wide lawn covered with stately oaks, and sloping gently from the house.
